Habibi, based on a Middle Eastern fable, tells the story of Dodola, who escapes being sold into slavery and rescues an abandoned baby she names Zam.

Mentors are a rich source of knowledge to the young and those eager to learn. Yet, Western society has lost the art of preparing adults to mentor those who are in their sphere of influence. When they are asked to mentor a young man or young woman, even for a day, some adults shrink back from the unknown. This book answers the questions of "What should I do when I spend time with a young person for a one-day job shadow or mentor experience?" and "How should I prepare for the day?" With years of experience in working with adults to mentor children, author Craig Thompson guides you step-by-step in your preparation in order to make your mentoring session both enjoyable and effectual.

Finding quality mentors who will spend time with our children on a regular basis should be an intentional part of the development of our children. In this book, Craig Thompson outlines ten of the key principles he has learned from using the intentional mentoring model with his own children. Each chapter is also filled with stories by his children on how the mentoring program has impacted their growth and development. This book can help parents understand the role which mentors can play in developing strong, mature children who are better prepared to transition into adulthood.

The art of being able to ask a well-planned question is a skill which can open treasure troves of wisdom and knowledge. Most schools do not have a class devoted to teaching young people how to ask questions which will uncover hidden truths and the principles for living a successful life.In this book, Craig Thompson shares the lessons he has taught his own children as well as others over the past two decades. With numerous sample questions and practical guidelines, this book will serve as a resource for you or your children to maximize time spent with mentors, teachers and leaders.

A beautiful new edition of the long out of print classic - mixing travelogue, memoir and how-to draw insight - with 30 new pp from Craig's return trip over a decade later.
